Subject: Re: [xsl] What do you call a stylesheet that doesn't require an input XML? From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2005 14:54:16 +0100 |
> "Standalone stylesheet", "Pull stylesheet" maybe... whatever word you use, don't use push or pull as it's not really related to the push/pull processing model. It's just a slightly different way of setting up the initial context. Many stylesheets will work in either form either having a named template to set them up or for systems where that is less convenient, or you just don't know how to document on all possible xslt systems how to specify a template you can have a template matching / that calls the named template (so you can also initialise by running the stylesheet on any convenient source, eg itself) I sort of wish that xslt2 had an attribute that said that a named template was the _expected_ start point, so that you didn't need to know processor specific details of how to specify this, although really it is no different from knowing the processor specific details of how to pass in an initial input file, or for that matter the stylesheet itself, so perhaps it just feels different at the moment.
